New air parcel service announced by Australian Post
The Australian Post plans a new special air parcel service in cooperation with Qantas, initial rolling to Britain, the USA, and several European countries. It will be slower than air mail but faster than surface mail, costing more than surface and less than standard air, with a potential 23 week intermediate option drawing users from surface parcels. The scheme awaits agreement with overseas nations before launch.
